Pit Stop #2 in Washington DC

The cross-country final leg was coming close with a trip to Washington DC. I was excited to see my older sister, Elaine, her hubby Mike, and their 9-month old baby, Mayumi. I had only had one other chance to see Mayumi (Maya for short) last Christmas in Salt Lake City. She has grown quite a bit since I had seen her last! One of Maya's favorite things to do is look in the mirror - a trait that undoubtedly comes from Elaine!

I also spend some time with an old college friend, Dave Adams, but afterwards realized I didn't take any pictures with him. We, did, however, get a picture of the Homeless World Cup of Soccer. That's right - the HOMELESS World Cup. I was baffled that an international homeless sporting event was even in existance, but I guess anything to help the homeless is a good thing. Very interesting sporting event, to say the least!


The Homeless World Cup of Soccer. Definitely not the most thrilling sporting even I have ever been to.

I know my face is cut off, but Maya is so cute!

Not the best picture ever taken.
